Raleigh >Food & Dining > Neo-China Restaurant
6602 Glenwood Ave Ste 1, Raleigh, NC | Directions 2761235.862634 -78.712081
Mon. - Fri. 11am - 2:30pm;Sat. CLOSED;Sun. 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: Northwest
Best Chinese Restaurant in Raleigh – I have been eating at Neo China my whole life ( I am now 22 years old). It has a wide variety of food on the menu including Chinese, Thai as well as a Sushi bar!
I usually only get the Chinese food; the chicken with fresh vegetables in brown sauce is delicious and their hot & sour soup is wonderful. They have wonderful service and everyone is very kind. I also get take out there which is always just as good as eating in.
Lousy service, lack of manners – Been there several times, and service has never been great. On one ocassion, the waiter actually mocked us as we were walking out the there.
Today I tried to order via phone for a take out. The guy on the other line, with a heavy accent, was non-caring and disrespectful.
When I asked him whether or not the food I was ordering had any MSG in it, he said that it did, that the soup and the fried rice were already pre-made, and that it had some MSG in it already. I told him that in the past they seemed to be able to provide the same food without the MSG, after he had finished saying "what, you haven't ate here before?" When I said "you know what, just cancel the order", the guy expressed a sign of relief, almost in a mocking style.
I am done with this place, for good. Do not really why I tried to order today. Food isn't that great either.
Solid Chinese – I strongly prefer their Chinese menu and it is very fresh, inventive and the best in the area. Not so much when you go to other areas like Thai, Sushi etc.
Large menu provides lots of choices at very reasonable pricing. Nice!
Great restaurant – We had dinner there a lot, regular customer for takeout as well. Great food and nice services!
Unresponsive Management – The food is fine, and the wait staff is good. HOWEVER, during my visit the was a table with three completely out of control children who were running all over the restaurant, crawling on the floor under other patron's tables, and screaming to the tops of their lungs. When I complained to the hostess, Hondi, who identified herself as the manager/owner, she told me that as a customer it was MY responsibility to confront the oblivious moms to tell them to dicipline their kids. She also said, "They come in here all the time, and they are always like this." My response to her was that as an owner / manager of a restaurant, it is her responsiblity to look after the dining experience of all of her patrons, and if a table's behavior is disruptive to the dining experience of other patrons, it is the MANAGEMENT's responsibility to step in and take action... not the responsibility of other patrons. By not taking action, I told Hondi that it demonstrates that Neo China does NOT care about the dining experience of their patrons. She refused to take action even though other tables were also complaining and commenting on the issue, even after I asked her a second time, and she also commented that she was "afraid to say anything" to the moms of the out-of-control kids.
Meh – I'm new to the Raleigh area and was looking for a decent chinese takeout place. After reading mostly good reviews, I tried NeoChina and was disappointed. I got my usual, General Tso's Chicken, extra spicy. It was edible, but I won't get it again. It just lacked something, not very flavorful, definitely not spicy, sad overcooked limp broccoli, generally below average in my book and I'm not usually super critical of chinese food (I just want good, Americanized takeout). Of course, I can only speak for this one dish; maybe some of the chef specialties are more deserving of the great reviews listed below.
Blah Food – I wasn't very impressed by the food. The chicken fried rice had almost no flavor. It didn't even have onions in it, or bean sprouts. My boyfriend had the sweet and sour chicken, which was okay. The sweet and sour sauce wasn't very good. I'm really not a picky eater and usually you can't screw up sweet and sour chicken. I just wasn't impressed. We might as well stick to the hole-in-the-wall take-out place by our house for better "basic" Chinese food.
Best Chinese Food in the Triangle! – This is my favourite modest priced restaurant in NC, and I have been coming here for more than 8 years now and it simply gets better and better! The food is amazing and the service is always friendly and gracious. The staff takes a real interest in their customers and remembers my children by name (note to waitstaff: this is an awesome way to score a bigger tip!). The hostess is very kind and charming and the entire staff makes the place feel like one big family. The selection of food is wonderful, with veggie dishes and all meals can be spiced the way you prefer. One reviewer complained about the egg rolls; I have found that their veggie rolls are the best that I've had ANYWHERE! The seating is prompt and very comfortable and the prices are reasonable. This is a great restaurant to take the kids, a perfect first date, or when the realitives are in town. I simply have no complaints! As for it being "American Chinese", well, if you want "real" Chinese, you need to head to Beijing. I am half Chinese and I love the food. It's one of the best in North America and beats anything else in NC. Try it today!
Great Food and Experience – Food was excellent. Great atmosphere (in shifts). Kids gone by 6:30. Elderly gone by 8:30. Mostly couples til close @ 10:30. I didn't notice smoking (other review), but had full bar. Must be well ventilated and drinks are stiff (Martini for $5). Previous reviews also spoke of bland. Don't be afraid of spicy dishes on menu. They are not over the top hot, unless you request it. Waiter was very attentive too. I plan on going back with my lady (of course)and taking some friends.
p.s. If you don't LOVE cabbage, don't get egg roll. Tastes great, but huge and overstuffed in comparison to take out places.
Not Good Chinese & Bad Service – The egg roll was so bad I tried returning it and they wouldn't let me, saying other people ate it without complaint. It seriously smelled and tasted like r otten cabbage. My waitress was nowhere to be found for 20 minutes. The manager smelled it and told me that is what cabbage smells like. It isn't. She told me to put more sauce on it if you can believe it. The aftertaste was so bad no matter how much sauce I drowned it in I was disgusted and couldn't even finish half of it. The tofu dish I had was terrible also. The vegetables were fresh but the tofu had a sour taste to it. At first I thought it may have been a sour brown sauce (?), but then realized it was the tofu. I left it all there and didn't bother trying to return it after they wouldn't exchange the egg roll. I felt robbed when paying so much for a meal that was so bad I couldn't eat anything but the rice and broccoli. I may have given it another chance with all the wonderful reviews this place received but considering the way the manager acted and the service, I will never go back there.

This week-end I watched Desperate Landscapes: Episode Desperate Turnaround. In this episode the host used some type of channel molding with a cap to a install porch screen, does anyone know what was used? Seemed to make the idea of replacing my screen on the back porch much easier. Appeared as if he pressed the screen into a channel tapped a cover over it cut the excess screen and he was done. Thanks for any help
This may not be the same brand but it's the same style stuff:
That link is for the cap piece, there are base pieces and caps in 3.5" and 1.5" sizes. At Lowe's in the hardware area near the screen wire.
My husband and I thought Screen Tight was the same stuff as well. Went to Home Depot and checked into it, but on the show there was no spline involved, it looked as if they were just using their fingers to tuck it into a channel and then pulling it taunt before capping. Maybe they didn't show all of the steps on the show.
Since you have to be able to pull the screen tight and hold it in place I would bet that this detail was just missed on the TV show.

Hi! New girl's first post!
I have an older kennel that needs two gate posts replaced (6 ft). They are both in the concrete pad. I don't want to put a lot of money into having it repaired but I need to stabilize it for at least 6 - 8 months.
I'm pretty certain I'll have to hire someone - which is more headache since my (only a mother could love them) mutts will have to be kenneled during repair (most people prefer to work without dog teeth in them anywhere... sigh...). I doubt I am strong enough to do the work myself (that and it's 100F out there!). The yard fencing is in worse shape than the kennel - theoretically, fencing works much better when it actually encloses the whole yard (not kidding) and the gate doesn't have a dog sized gap in it (also not kidding) so I won't be staying here very much longer.
Any ideas? Will they have to damage the pad to get the posts out? I really don't want to pay for masonry work if it can be avoided.
Welcome to House Repair Talk. Post a pic of the area you are talking about if you can.
the first thing that comes to mind is to have them cut off near the concrete and see if you can find a pipe to closely fit inside the pipe (as support) and have new pipe slid over this and welded. Not the best idea, but should last at least as long as you are going to be there. Good luck!
Just when you thought it was safe to get into the thread (yes, bad Jaws pun).
Pics, as promised:
Middle post (forgot this one).
Outer door
Interior door
Second view, interior door
Top view, interior door.
If you can take the cap off the top maybe you could just drop in a chunk of 1" pipe so it would be in your pipe and in the hole in the concrete.
What neal said makes the most sense to me as well. This way you won't have to bust up concrete and make a huge mess.
Drop a smaller pipe into the chunk remaining in the concrete, cement it in and slide the pole over the top. Once this pole is in place, you may wish to fill it with concrete as well. Try to keep it off the sides of the pipe and drop it as close to center as possible so it doesn't gum up the sides.
Not the best illustration, but I hope it helps.
Did you get the post fixed? I would also go with the pipe on the inside of the broken post, but if that does not work, I would suggest putting a post in outside the concrete and adding a little bit more fence.

The first time, I went in a large group and ordered several rijstafels. About 20 minutes later, our table was covered in small plates of Indonesian fare, all delicious and in large quantities. There was enough for each one of us to taste each plate. The next time I returned, it was just three of us for dinner, and we ordered off the menu--nasi goreng, a spicy meat dish, and a vegetarian entrée. You can't go wrong. In fact, these dishes were arguably better than the rijstafel--there was more of each, so we fully savoured each one. For first-time Indonesian-food eaters, go for the rijstafel,, but if you have a sense of Indonesian food, pick entrées and share them.
The food is excellent, the ambience casual, the decor simple, and the customers a combination of locals and tourists. Two other aspects of de Kantjil that make it even more attractive: the to-go menu option and the early bird special, where you can have a complete meal between 4:45 and 6:30pm for 9€. For 9€, you get rice or noodles, a meat dish, and a veggie dish.

Neighborhoods: Carroll Gardens
Cut ok, color not great... – Like the others, I was disappointed to discover that the stylist I've been working with for years is no longer at Donne Salon. I was open minded about the salon and let the owner do my color and give my hair a trim. Now, I really wish I hadn't. While the customer service was everything it should be, my hair was just missing the life that Fiona brings to it. I like the atmosphere at Donne, and the customer service is ok, but I go to the salon for great hair- which they did not deliver. When I got home, I figured how hard could it be to find a person with such an unusual name. I did a quick google search for "fiona supple" and sure enough, I was in touch with her in minutes. Thank god for the information age. My next appointment will be elsewhere.
Delightlful as ever! – Arrived for my appointment with Fiona yesterday to find she was no longer at Donne. Initially I was rather dismayed not to have been told when I called; I was having a really awful day anyway and this seemed like more of the same. The owners were lovely and apologetic, reassured me as to Fiona's health after her brutal summer and had nothing but nice things to say about her. Fiona-- where ever you are, I hope it is inspiring and exciting and a great move up; you've earned it! Linda-- thank you for a terrific cut and color touch-up. It was everything I hoped for and then even more perfect. You turned around a bad day that had all the makings of a rotten week. The ladies who did my shampoo, eyebrows and manicure (all on the spur of the moment) were as expert and solicitous as ever and could not have been nicer about my 2 year old escort rolling around and bodysurfing the nice smooth floor. Ladies I will be back often, a happier customer than ever.
Fiona is gone – Sorry, hope she found a better place.
DNW – disappointed
Ditto ditto!
authentic and talented – its NYC -- but you dont have to go far or spend lots to have perfect hair if you go to Donne Salon. i started going to Donne Salon about 2.5 years ago. i had very short hair at the time and asked for an apt with someone who was good with my type of cut. it was shaggy and needed shape and a bit of life. i then met valentina. from that first hair cut she has made me look beautiful every time i walk out. now that i have grown out my hair she still spends a few minutes every apt talking and discussing what i want to do this time. a little color, some layers, always fresh, very professional and warm to boot. the other women in the shop with her are all accomodating and friendly. and i agree, you get a wonderful shampoo too. a must for anyone looking for a good salon.
Great cuts and good prices – This salon offers excellent service in a very friendly atmosphere. You'll get a great cut for a very good price. They also carry natural hair care products for those of us that want to provide nourishment to our stylish cuts!
Fantastico! – I did not know what to expect when I heard about this salon through a girlfriend of mine and it exceeded all of my expectations!
The staff was adorable and helpful and transformed my look 100%: I went from a brassy blonde to sassy brunette in 2 hours--the stylist was flexible and even rearranged her schedule to accommodate me.
I love the music and their welcoming atmosphere. Complimenti Ragazze!
Grazie mille ancora per un bellissimo lavoro!
Great Stylist & Great attention – They take walk-ins!
They always try to help squeeze you in and accomidate you even if its busy!
Regular clients get notifications about monthly specials/discounts!
When i went in to cut 7 inches off i was a little worried,
(because my hair is very thick and curly and I didn't want a 'fro!!)...
but I sat down and got to explain exactly what I wanted and the stylist gave me ideas to help get it. She REALLY listened and offered great ideas that I didn't even think of !!!
....Some stylists are better at cutting/blowdrying and others at dying hair, so you have to be careful who you get for what. The first time I went in for a dye it was alright but the cut was amazing, when I went back a second time the other stylist who dyed my hair was a genius!!
BEST SALON EXPERIENCE!!!!! – I was just passing by and hadn't noticed this place before. I needed highlights and thought I'd see if they take walk ins... they do. I only had to wait about 10 minutes, and they were super attentive and even brought me a free cappuccino! I got the greatest shampoo I have ever had IN MY LIFE. My stylist Nicole was extremely knowledgeable and gave me amazing highlights. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Simply the best – I live in the neighborhood and have gone to several salons here. This place is, hands down, the best. First, when you call to make an appointment, the receptionist is always friendly and eager to help match you with the best stylist if it's your first time. When you arrive, you are greeted by smiles, great decor, and a complimentary refreshment. The stylists listen to what you want, and offer helpful suggestions if what you want might not work (they are trained professionals, after all). Whether I've gone in for a cut to help tame my once long, curly hair, or to get it all chopped off for a sleek new look, I've never walked out disappointed. . I am surprised by the negative post left on here by "ihatemycolornow", as I have never been unsatisfied. Perhaps their whole story is not being told, or it's simply a character flaw. Regardless, don't be daunted by the negative souls out there looking to vent. If you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for? Great prices, great service, great atmosphere. Who needs to go to the city?

Sadly, not all Easter bunnies are as sweet as the ones in a Peanuts cartoon. Just take a look at the video above - in which two happy, excited children are completely and utterly terrified by a giant white rabbit.
It is, admittedly, rather scary. So if you yourself are now suffering from trauma after watching it, why not calm your nerves with our soothing gallery of adorable animals enjoying their Easter treats? It does feature a lot of meerkats. And we mean: a lot.

Diabetes Affects Hearing LossPosted: Sunday, January 29, 2012
Having diabetes may cause women to experience a greater degree of hearing loss as they age, especially if the metabolic disorder is not well controlled with medication.
Men, however, had worse hearing loss across the board compared to women in the study, regardless of their age or whether or not they had diabetes.
Derek J. Handzo, D.O., with the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at Henry Ford states that, "A certain degree of hearing loss is a normal part of the aging process for all of us, but it is often accelerated in patients with diabetes, especially if blood-glucose levels are not being controlled with medication and diet."
"Our study really points to importance of patients controlling their diabetes, especially as they age, based on the impact it may have on hearing loss."
While the association between diabetes and hearing loss has previously been studied, Henry Ford researchers sought to learn more about hearing differences among patients with well-controlled diabetes, poorly controlled diabetes, and those who do not have diabetes.
The Henry Ford research team reviewed records for 990 patients that had audiograms performed between 2000 and 2008 at the hospital. Patients were categorized by gender, age (younger than 60 years old, between 60-75 years old and older than 75 years old), and if they had diabetes. Those with diabetes were divided into two groups: well-controlled or poorly controlled, as determined by the American Diabetes Association guidelines that use HbA1C blood levels.
Dr. Handzo notes that previous studies about diabetes and hearing loss have not focused on blood-glucose levels, nor did they include such a diverse population based on age and gender.
They looked at patients' pure tone average, a measurement that determines hearing level at certain frequencies and speech recognition at different ages. The team evaluated pure tone average ranges that focus on the frequency at which most people speak and the very high frequencies used in music and alarms.
Women between the ages of 60 and 75 with poorly controlled diabetes had significantly worse hearing than those whose diabetes was well-controlled and the control group. Among the women younger than 60, those with diabetes -- regardless of whether or not it was being controlled -- had worse hearing than non-diabetic women.
For the men in the study, there was no significant difference in hearing between those with diabetes that well-controlled or poorly controlled, as well as those who did not have diabetes.
"Younger males in general have worse hearing, enough so to possibly mask any impact diabetes may have on hearing. But our findings really call for future research to determine the possible role gender plays in hearing loss," says Dr. Handzo.
The study was presented Jan. 26 in Miami Beach at the annual Triological Society's Combined Sections Meeting.

Glimpse Into Claude Monet's Giverny on August 19 at the Clark
For Immediate Release
August 07, 2007
Giverny, home to Claude Monet and one of art's most famous backyards, will be the subject of the talk Monet at Giverny on Sunday, August 19, at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. At 2 pm, Sarah Lees, the Clark's associate curator of European art, will discuss the significance of Claude Monet's home in Giverny, where he lived for forty-three years, in his art and life. Several magnificent works from this time are currently on view during The Unknown Monet: Pastels and Drawings. The lecture, the second in a three part Sunday series on Monet, is free.
Claude Monet first settled in Giverny, a village on the Seine about 50 miles west of Paris, in 1883. After having lived in numerous other locations he had finally found a permanent home, and he began to transform the large house and its gardens into both site and subject matter for painting. During the 1880s and 1890s he took extensive walks in the countryside around the village. It was there that Monet found simple motifs, like poplars and grainstacks, which he painted repeatedly and soon came to consider as coherent series of works. Gradually, Monet focused more and more on the landscapes he himself had created in his own backyard. The famous paintings of willow trees, a Japanese-style bridge, and water lilies he produced in his later years record the artist's complete immersion in the ideal natural world around him, translating his visual experience onto paper and canvas. Two oil paintings of water lilies, and related sketchbook drawings, are on view in the current blockbuster exhibition.
The Unknown Monet is not your typical Monet exhibition. Utilizing largely unknown and rarely exhibited works, the exhibition exposes Monet's hidden life as a youthful caricaturist, masterful draftsman, and skilled pastel artist. This groundbreaking exhibition, containing the first significant concentration of Monet's pastels to be exhibited together since the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874, also includes three-dozen drawings and fourteen paintings. An innovative, searchable database and series of computer kiosks allow for unprecedented access to Monet's eight existing sketchbooks from the Musée Marmottan. This exhibition is on view through September 16.
In the last lecture of the series, assistant curator of education Danielle Steinmann will cut through the fog of time to expose Monet's visions of "Monet's London" on Sunday, August 26 at 2 pm.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open daily in July and August, 10 am to 5 pm (open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm September through June). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Returning to a regular maintenance program for the City's approximately 1,900 miles of roadways has been a top priority for the Mayor and Council. In addition to improving driving conditions, the City is confident that restoration of streets will restore pride in the appearance of Tucson and make an excellent first impression on visitors and the investors alike. The Mayor also pledged that he and the City Manager will make sure that the money from the Bond package is spent as promised and welcomed residents to apply for a position on the Citizen Bond Oversight Commission.
The Citizen Bond Oversight Commission application process is now open to any city resident and applicants will be screened on the basis of interest, qualifications, leadership role in the community, stakeholder group and geographical representation.

Customer Ratings:
I have spent hundreds of dollars for many years in an effort to get my acne under control and nothing has worked until I came across this system. Thanks to this, I am now acne free and I only get the occasional hormonal acne during that time of the month and even then, I only get 1 or 2 pimples at the most and they disappear within a few days. This system did it's job so well that I have now moved to the Regular system as my face does not need the extra strength anymore.
LOVE this line - the best combo for my stubborn cystic acne. I have been experimenting (for years) to find something that works for me and I've found it. Usually, 10% BP would be the only thing keeping those huge zits at bay but it would freak the rest of my skin out. (Wrinkles AND zits?? Hello 40?!) Well, I decided to try this combo and it worked wonders. I also use the Resist serum (I found the skin balancing one to turn into little balls under my make up and I didn't like that).
This is the one and only thing that has consistently kept my skin acne free for the past 5 months I've been using it. And it never irritates or stings my face or eyes like many other popular acne kits I've tried. I do wish the products came in bigger sizes. My husband uses it too and so I run out quickly. And I've been trying to reorder but its out of stock for a while now. Maybe an automatic reorder option could help, company can anticipate how many they need in advance and keep better stock
This trio of products is the miracle that I was searching for over the past several years, during which time I was plagued with adult acne (I'm 44). I tried every product line out there: Proactive, Murad, Eminence, Rodan and Fields, Clinique, the list goes on and on. I even went in for expensive spa treatments like eMatrix and photofacial, all to no avail. Then I found PC. This line is keeping my skin clearer and even younger looking than it has in years. I'm so thankful every day!!
At first I was skeptical, since every other acne product (including doctor-prescribed) did absolutely nothing for my skin. My skin wasn't terrible, but at 27 and just coming off birth control, my hormones/skin went crazy. Needless to say, I decided to give Paula's Choice a shot after MTV's The Hill's star Lo Bosworth claimed on Instagram that the Clear system was a "miracle in a bottle." I was also pleasantly surprised with the price. I'm happy to report my skin is finally clear at 28!
I have spent a small fortune on finding the right products for my 13 year old son's skin. He would try one product after the other with no luck in improving his teen acne. He was very self conscience about the appearance of his skin. He even tried a very expensive prescription cream that dried his skin badly. This line is fabulous. He is very happy with how his teen skin responds to the CLEAR system. It is simple and effective. He now finds managing breakouts very easy.
I tried the regular one in travel size but decided to try the extra strength since it didn't work. For some odd reason I started to break out more so I stopped using the toner/exfoliate and just used the cleanser and treatment. Which helped a lot more but definitely didn't stop me breaking out. Im still debating if I should repurchase....
So I've ordered the CLEAR Extra Strength system, and my acne, although has been problematic, was never bad enough to see a dermatologist. X-Out cleared my skin about 70%, but I decided to step up my skin care game and tried out Paula's Choice. Having tough skin, I thought Extra Strength would be good for me. But as it turns out, it is very drying so I only use it once a day, but it has literally cleared my skin completely. It's only been two weeks, but no new break outs since then!
I thought this system was causing an allergic reaction and making my face peel and sting. I was wrong! I experimented some and found that I have a reaction to the combination of benzoyl peroxide and all sunscreens I tried. Once I stopped using the BP product in the morning and going to moisturizer/sunscreen directly from the BHA, it fixed itself immediately. My sister reported the same thing. Give the whole system a chance, but try using the BP only at night if you get a stinging/burning feel.
I started using these 3-steps along with the Skin Balancing Invisible Finish Moisture Gel ~1 week ago, but I am SO happy with the results so far. I'm totally surprised at the improvements in the feel & look of my skin already. My skin was uneven and dull from blemishes and is perking up. ~2 years ago, I started using the CLEAR regular strength system with a RESIST Advanced toner & RESIST moisturizer and honestly don't feel like it did much. I decided to give Extra Strength a try. Glad I did!
I sent an email to customer service because I wasn't sure if I needed the regular strength or extra strength. Not only did they respond in less than 24 hours, they offered to send me a trial size of it for free! Excellent service and excellent product! My new favorite site to buy from
I am a 21 year old female and have suffered from moderate acne since I was about 11 years old. I have been on EVERY product ranging from over the counter to prescriptions both oral and topical medical (Benzaclin, Clindamycin, Epiduo, Doxycycline, etc.) and nothing has ever worked until CLEAR Extra Strength System. I have been using this product both morning and night since December 14th and my acne is almost 100% gone, and the quality of my skin has never been smoother or more radiant. AMAZING.
My mom used to work for this company in Washington state, this is how we started using Paula's Choice products. My skin was always flawless with the occasional breakout due to teenage hormones. I moved out of my parents and stopped using her products...BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! I started breaking out terribly and my Mom insisted that I use her products again, so I did. All I have to say is that I wish I had never stop using her products, I'm 23 years old and will never use anything else again!
I have never had serious acne issues, but I always seemed to get places where it wouldn't go away. That was, until I tried using this product. All of my acne had disappeared, and my skin looks and feels much healthier! The product has reduced the look of redness and oil on my face. Every other face product I have used have never given me such good results. I would definetely recommend this to anybody! Really great!
I cannot say enough about the Clear System. It has totally transformed my face. My only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. I never had acne growing up but after college I had many acne issues. I have spent hundreds of dollars on the dermatologist and nothing ever helped - at least not for longer than a week. I broke down and bought a Clarisonic a few months ago and no improvement. I have not had a single breakout since using these products. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Around the time of my sister's wedding I was getting terrible Acne under my chin and around my chin. It was terrible after my sister's wedding, my family moved cross country and I began getting cystic acne that was beginning to look like keloid scars which I have history of (super sensitive skin). I tried this and in 2 months my skin is clear of Acne and the redness left from the acne is going away.
So yes shaya w, I can attest that it helped me with my cystic acne.
My 19 year-old son had been suffering from persistent moderate/severe acne since his mid teens. We had been to a few dermatologists who put him on numerous topical medications, all of which irritated his skin and aggravated his acne. I had been a Paula's customer for years so when she came out with the clear system I ordered the extra strength for him. His skin cleared up in less than two weeks and did not irritate his skin or dry it out in the least. He has been using it exclusively ever since.
During my teenage years, I did not have acne. As I grew up, I developed, "adult onset acne." I have been searching for a product that would help me and the scars left behind. There were many functions that I felt embarrassed to attend because of my acne. I have FINALLY found a product that works: Paula's Choice CLEAR Extra Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution with 2% Salicylic Acid! My co-workers are asking me what I have done to achieve such a "glowing and flawless complexion!" Yay!
I'm 26 and have on again off again acne from stress and hormones. I have used the PC Moisture Boost collection which i loved, but when I saw my breakouts were becoming more frequent I tried the CLEAR system- it has been the best decision I've made. Literally I saw improvements within hours and by the next day my skin was drastically different- no more redness, swelling, or bumps. The formula is strong but very gentle and effective. I wouldn't trust my skin to anyone else Paula. Thank you!!
This is the one! I have had problems with acne since I was a teenager, and I have never tried any acne-clearing products or systems like this one, including prescription topical treatments, cleansers, and even pills. My dermatologist once told me I had some of the worst acne he's ever seen, because mine is STUBBORN. This system keeps the acne away CONSISTENTLY, even the pre-period pimples! So glad I ditched the Clinique system I was last using for this one in February. I am never going back!
This product is not for everyone. I spoke with a nurse at my school who used to work for a dermatologist and she recommended this product for my persisting acne. I was extremely anxious and excited to begin this product. I gave it the full 6 weeks and my skin is so dry that one-to-two inch pieces of skin are peeling off of my face. I am so disappointed that this didn't work for me. It gave me fine lines all over my face as well. I've gone off for 2 weeks and am still battling the dryness.
We're sorry this system didn't work for you. Without knowing what else you may have been using, it could be the combination of CLEAR with other products that caused your skin to react in this manner. Please contact us so we can help you troubleshoot and offer advice to get your skin back to normal.
Is there anything to help cure my acne? I've tried everything; superhealthy diet, supplements, about 8 different skincare products and routines over the years, incl. the current and previous PC CLEAR range. Didn't work then, doesn't work now. It dries out my skin terribly -which would be OK if it worked- but the pimples keep coming. The only thing that has ever stopped my acne is the pill, but I had to go off it in January. Wondering if I'm doing wrong, reading all these good reviews!?
We're sorry this system worked for you. Hopefully you gave it at least 6 weeks of daily use before making this determination. For some people, acne can be very stubborn and requires medical intervention. You mentioned being on The Pill but there are numerous other options, from hormone blockers to isotretinoin to topical prescriptions. Don't give up!
I'm 50 and I've been battling acne since age 14--both cystic and surface. I've tried everything from drugstore brands to expensive department store lines to "sold on TV" systems, and Clear is the only thing that has really worked. It's powerful but gentle on my skin. I actually get compliments on how "luminous" my skin is! Never, ever thought that would happen! I've been using Paula's Choice products for about 10 years and have been nothing but happy with them. Bless you Paula!
I tried this product a week ago and I have already seen improvement in size and redness of my acne. I also suffer from white bumps on my chin and I have noticed a significant decrease in those as well. I am very happy with this products effectiveness. My only issue with it is that I experienced a little bit of dryness and irritation. I added a moisturizer and decreased the frequency of application and the dryness has started to go away.
My 19-year-old daughter came home from her first year of college with a terrible acne breakout on her forehead. She has been using a few products that the dermatologist gave her over the years, but the breakouts persisted. I got her a trial kit of the Clear system (extra strength). By the end of the two weeks, things were getting better. She asked me to get the full sizes. In a few more weeks the zits were gone. She and I are both Paula's Choice fans. I use the Resist line and love it, too!

Product Description
Water activated batteries made by a kind of powdered carbon capacitor. This process which was discovered by Japanese inventor Susumu Suzuki, requires moisture to activate the carbon particles to produce energy. They produce the same amount of energy as normal batteries, but they are made of carbon, which is everywhere, and not processed metal, which is hard to find, they are much cheaper, take less energy to produce and are non-toxic.

Question by Andreas1125 256 · Jan 25 '11 at 04:14 AM · butter ghee
I have some pasteurized, pastured butter(Kerrygold!) and I want to make some ghee. I only have the salted ones right now and I'm wondering, pretty much every site I go to they say make ghee with unsalted butter. Do I really have to get unsalted to make ghee or they're just bluffing? Is the regular kerrygold enough?

Answer by Jack Kronk 20195 · Feb 16 '11 at 10:47 PM
I've made it with both salted and unsalted. There is no difference in my opinion. One thing is for sure, the milk solids that I scraped off of the top were extraordinarily salty. It smelled so good like cheese that I just had to taste it. I mean it tasted like I ate a big spoonful of pure salt. But the ghee itself, even from salted butter, did not taste salty at all, so it may be that all the salts stay with the solids anyway. The ghee made from unsalted kerrygold tasted just like the ghee I made from salted organic valley's pasture butter.
From what understand, the reason everyone says to use unsalted butter is because unsalted normally implies that the dairy farmer used fresher cream for that batch because they know that there is no salt to preserve it. Some people claim that unsalted butter taste creamier and fresher than salted. I don't know if I'm willing to buy into this, but once the world believes unsalted butter is what you use for ghee, it will subsequently be copied over and over again as truth, even though the people who are repeating it don't really know why.
The real deal: I totally couldn't tell a difference.
Hope that helps,
Jack Kronk
Answer by srd 31 · Sep 05 '11 at 10:59 PM
I just tried it with Kirkland organic salted butter. I found a lot of difference during making ghee. The salted ghee frothed much more. In-fact it boiled over, which never happened with unsalted butter. After I made the Ghee a lot of residue was left over at the bottom. This was grainy, brown and looked like salt. (I burnt ghee a little since I could not see the color of ghee underneath the froth.) I tasted it and it tasted like pure salt. The residue was lot more than unsalted ghee which mostly is milk solids. But the ghee at the end was nice. It was salty, though only very slightly. I think I can safely conitnue use salted butter next time. Since our costco does not carry unsalted organic butter. Only next time that I know the differences I will be much more careful. If the flame is very very low I expect it not to boil over. I will not leave it unattended and I will keep mixing it if rises so that it does not boil over. Just one suggestion always use organic butter. Since Ghee is so high in the food chain. The concentration of harmful chemicals can be much higher.
Answer by Keith 1 450 · Jan 25 '11 at 04:21 AM
You will have salty ghee. It is nothing to worry about. Since you will lose the butter solids and moisture content in the ghee making process, it will be saltier than an equivalent amount of butter. Adjust your cooking accordingly.
Answer by wheelhouse 4390 · Jan 25 '11 at 04:35 AM
I think its probably coming from chefs/cooks always suggesting unsalted butter in general. They like it because it allows you to dictate the salt level of a dish, not the butter. As Keith said, you can do it, but it will be salty, so taste as you go and adjust accordingly. Next time, go unsalted. Yes, salted butter does keep a little longer, but butter freezes amazingly well so that shouldnt be that much of an issue.
Answer by Anna 307 · Jan 25 '11 at 01:34 PM
It will be saltier, but not that much saltier. It's fine, just keep it in mind when you cook. I've done both depending on what I have on hand and don't really notice the difference, and a small amount of extra salt isn't an issue for me. Enjoy! I just made some kerrygold ghee and it's lovely.
Answer by Simibee 6448 · Jan 26 '11 at 12:18 AM
I've made ghee with both salted and unsalted butter. The one difference (apart from taste) which I've noticed is that ghee made with salted butter can sometimes develop a sediment, which needs to be filtered out with a muslin cloth.
Answer by Jess 1 47 · Sep 06 '11 at 02:33 AM
I've made clarified butter with salted butter, and it turned out just fine. Most or all of the salt settles in with the milk solids, which I filter out anyways. If you wanted to preserve the milk solids for some other use, they might end up being too salty.
I make it in a crock pot, which may make a difference in terms of boiling over and so forth.
Answer by johhny stroke 1 · Apr 04 '13 at 12:38 AM
